Amazing

by paulp22018

My wife & I spent our 30th Wedding Anniversary here just a few days ago. The rooms are clean and up to date. We had a side view of the ocean which was perfect. The free breakfast in the morning included scrabbled eggs, Canadian bacon, waffles, fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice and more....very nice. All of the employees were very nice and made you feel like family. Devon at the front desk was amazing!! The lobby area is very nice with a large screen TV on one side and a fireplace on the other. We'd love to return.

Bethany Beach Ocean Suites Never Disappoints

by Michael S

I have been to Bethany Beach Ocean Suites in Bethany Beach Delaware for business, weekend getaways, anniversaries and engagements and they have yet to disappoint me. I highly recommend this place for any occasion you my be thinking of as it is centrally located within the beach community of Delaware. From the service at the front desk, to the valet person out front, they treat you like you are something special and there is never anything they can't do for you. My wife and I ran into the owner of Bethany Beach Ocean Suites and he could not have been more accommodating to us making sure we had everything we needed and he kept asking us what else could he do for us? Your missing a great place to visit if you don't stop by Bethany Beach Ocean Suites in Bethany Beach DE! THIS IS A MUST VISIT!

Family Activities

Pool
The indoor/outdoor pool is located on the third floor and has a depth of about 3 feet. The pool features a retractable roof and there is a completely outdoor deck area for guests to always enjoy the sun. Lounge chairs surround the pool and the outside deck area. Pool towels are provided and no lifeguard is on duty. Restrooms are available inside the pool area, as well.

The pool is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Beach and Boardwalk
The Bethany Beach Ocean Suites is on the oceanfront so families are only a few steps away from the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. A short boardwalk (no amusement rides) is all that separates the hotel from the beach. Families will find lots of shops and restaurants along the boardwalk and promenade area, too.

There are outside guest showers just off the boardwalk to wash away any sand. Request the Presidential Suite and you'll be able to walk right out of your room onto the boardwalk and beach!

Lobby Games
A multi-purpose game table is located in the lobby. Ask the front desk staff for the pieces to chess, checkers or shoots and ladders and kids will have lots of fun, especially on a rainy day.

Family Dining

Breakfast
Complimentary breakfast with items like eggs, sausage, yogurt, waffles and fruit is available to guests from 6 to 9 a.m. on weekdays and from 7 to 9:30 a.m. on weekends. Coffee service, along with flavored water or lemonade is in the lobby throughout the day.

99 Sea Level Restaurant
Serving lunch and dinner, the 99 Sea Level Restaurant is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to midnight. Dinner reservations are recommended in the summer months.

The upscale casual dining atmosphere features indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the boardwalk and beach. 99 Sea Level features excellent local seafood options and a raw bar. If you love seafood, be sure to try the seafood tower!

Planning & Tips

All About the Extras
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is complimentary to guests throughout the hotel.

Fill My Fridge
Families are invited to fill out a grocery list of items they want and the concierge will happily pick them up at the store and simply bill all expenses to your room.

Pet Friendly
Pets are welcome at this hotel for a $150 fee. Dogs must be under 15 pounds and a crate is required if housekeeping service is needed. Dogs are not permitted on the boardwalk or beach between May 15 and September 30, per the town of Bethany Beach.

Fitness Center
Located near the pool, the fitness center features cardio and weight machines and overlooks the pool. The fitness center is open 24/7.

Parking
Free, covered parking is available for one vehicle per guestroom.

The Art of Smart Timing
Bethany Beach is mostly a seasonal town so during the summer months, the hotel is at its busiest. Spring and fall, however, also draw people to town.

Getting There
Bethany Beach, situated between Ocean City, Maryland. and Dewey Beach, is located about an hour south of Dover, Delaware. The Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport, located in Maryland, is about 45 minutes from Bethany Beach, but offers limited flights. Philadelphia International Airport and Baltimore-Washington International Airport are both about two and a half hours away from Bethany Beach.

Getting Around
Families can easily walk to the beach and several nearby shops and restaurants. The short boardwalk is also nice for a short walk or run, but a stroller may be a good idea for younger kids. A car is needed to venture further away from the hotel, as the main drag through Bethany Beach is considered a highway.

For Mom and Dad
Oceanova Spa
If parents can sneak away for some quiet relaxation time, the Oceanova Spa is the place. Located near the pool and fitness center, the spa offers full body treatments, massages, manicures and pedicures. Oceanove is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

99 Sea Level Bar
Complete a date night with cocktail at the lobby bar. The bar is open until 10 p.m.
